I wish and plan to start with Xen, but should like to hear first from this list users what the experience and opinions are regarding the following questions:

1. Is Xen mature to be installed and used by avarage skilled desktop users, who else manage to install both Linux and Windows on dual boot systems?

2. Is it clear which hardware (workstation, desktop PC or laptops) that does support Intel VT or AMD SVM, when the purpose is to install Windows and Linux concurrently? Is there any preferences and benefits regarding Intel VT/AMD SVM?

3. Is there some limits or some usual required feature that will not work yet with Xen?
